[quote=DaveW]I remember a trip to Salcombe a few years ago, when there was a new Carrera 4S in the hotel car park. The couple with this car did nothing but complain about luggage space on the first night. Under questioning it turned out that their Aston had suffered damage the day before the holiday trip. The hire company dropped the Porsche on their drive that evening - it was all they had, but the Aston owner didn't rate it at all.
"Nouveau riche" are seldom pleased we are up to our plimsole lines down here with them - properly set up folk know how to conduct themselves in a polite manner - these new aliens that are appearing down here in their droves are objectionable in the extreme. The local businesses would rather take a hit than serve them, it's as if they had no proper "checked" upbringing or taught the common courtesies of life..
They could have course been a "home from abroader" still hankering for the empire and not a German product, we seem to find them in every bolthole down here as well, Wingco's, Rear Admirals and senior brown jobs abound some of whom are contributors to the community and an asset.
Anyway most have left now and it's bloody wonderful down here
